Exclusive: iPad Mini Release Date Is November 2nd

Apple has just sent out invites to a special event next Tuesday the 23rd of October, and they are expected to announce their new iPad Mini, as well as a new 13 inch Retina MacBook Pro and possibly a new Mac Mini.

Last month we received some information from one of our sources on the iPhone 5 release date, a week before Apple announced the device, and that information turned out to be correct, the same source has just given us details about the iPad Mini release date.

Our source, who is someone close to a major UK retailer, and has been reliable in the past, has told us that Apple will start selling the new iPad Mini on Friday the 2nd of November, the device will be available in the US And UK on this date, possibly some other countries as well.

The iPad Mini will go up for pre-order on the same week it is announced, possibly Friday the 26th of October, although our source was not 100 percent sure this would be the exact pre-order date.

Apple’s new iPad Mini is rumored to come with a 7.85 inch touchscreen display and a 16:9 aspect ratio, pricing of the device is rumored to be about £200 or $250 for the entry level model which will apparently come with 8GB of storage.

We will have full details on Apple’s new iPad Mini when it is officially announced next Tuesday the 23rd of October at 10.00 AM Pacific Time in San Jose.
